NOVEL FROG Chapter 34
After Dordrecht kicked the ball out again, the player who received the ball did not pass it back, but waited for his teammates to get in position before starting to attack.
The player who received the ball directly dribbled forward, and passed the ball horizontally when encountering obstacles.
After they penetrated from the middle, they suddenly split the sides, and the full-backs quickly dribbled the ball to the bottom and made a cross.
They had to equalize the score in the first half, and they could not lose this game.
The interference of Xiaomi and the other two in the front court made the opponent's defense dare not press too far forward.
Unconsciously, the connection between the midfield and the backcourt was directly cut off by ADO.
Dordrecht's first shot was punched out by Sam.
Unfortunately, the opponent got the ball again, and began to pass the ball back in the front court and reorganize the attack.
Hicks stuck in position and blocked the opponent's shooting line.
Wells followed up and slid down to the ground, poking the ball out of the sideline.
The opponent quickly threw the ball out of bounds and reorganized the attack.
The two sides went back and forth in ADO's half, and the fight was very fierce.
The opponent used the same trick again, dribbling the ball to the bottom and making a cross.
Hicks blocked the pass and rushed to break the ball out of the baseline.
The opponent got a corner kick on the left side.
Most of the players from both sides gathered in the penalty area, and the opponent's backcourt players also rushed to grab the ball.
The corner kick was taken and went straight to the penalty area.
Sam made an accurate judgment and grabbed the ball with both hands before the opponent.
The ADO players finally had a chance to breathe.
The opponent's attack this time was like a tide, which almost made them breathless.
Sam passed the ball to Mike, and ADO began to control the rhythm of the game.
The opponent was not willing to give up and actively pressed forward.
The ADO players now have a very skilled short pass.
They firmly control the ball and the opponent can't steal the ball at all.
When there is an opportunity to attack, ADO directly kicks a long pass to find teammates in the frontcourt.
After Xiaomi scored, No.
3 directly started the man-to-man tactic, not giving Xiaomi a chance to get the ball, which made Xiaomi very frustrated.
No.
3's hands were still very dishonest.
He either pulled or hugged him directly, making it impossible for him to meet his teammates.
Fortunately, when his teammates saw that the situation was not good, they would pass back and did not lose the ball.
The referee blew the whistle, and the first half of the game finally ended.
Both sides returned to the sidelines, and the head coach began to arrange the tactics for the second half.
Xiaomi had just taken the water thrown by his teammate, but before he could drink it, Jason pulled him aside.
"Xiaomi, we are going to replace you."
Xiaomi was stunned,"Is it because I didn't perform well enough?"
"No, you performed very well, but the opponent obviously started to target you, and we don’t want you to get hurt."
Xiaomi didn't want to leave the field, but he knew very well that the coach's decision was right.
After the goal, the opponent's defense against him was obviously strengthened, and he had no chance to get the ball at all.
Moreover, the referee clearly saw No. 3 pulling him, but did not warn the opponent.
If he stayed on the field, he would not only be unable to play a role, but also risk injury.
He understood that Jason's ability to discuss with him instead of directly substituting him off the field was an affirmation of him.
I just don't know in the end, will the system count this task as completed?
What kind of reward can I get?
But for the overall situation, he can't be too willful.
He nodded slightly,"Okay, I'll obey the arrangements."
"Okay, believe in your teammates and you can hold on to the victory!"
Xiaomi nodded and began to drink water.
Although he felt regretful that he was wearing shin guards rewarded by the system.
But if the opponent really plays dirty, it would not be appropriate for him to injure other parts of his body.
Jason returned to Marvin and whispered to him.
Marvin looked at Xiaomi apologetically and asked Morrison to warm up directly.
Marvin was going to play 532 in the second half and strengthen the defense in the backcourt.
Xiaomi knew that he was going to start playing the iron bucket formation, so he was relieved.
On the other side, Dordrecht's coach was very angry,"What were you doing in the first half?"
"How can we attack if we can’t even get the ball?"
"Especially you, who asked you to closely guard that oriental boy?"
"Do you think the referee didn't see your foul?"
"You don't have to play in the second half!"
He pointed at No. 3 and didn't give him any chance to explain.
Dordrecht's head coach found out that something was wrong with the players after ADO scored.
These stupid players actually targeted him.
He found that No. 3 was the most critical one among them and decided to replace him decisively.
As he was one goal behind, he had to strengthen the offense and directly replaced him with an offensive midfielder, changing from 433 to 343.
The halftime break ended quickly, and after both sides came on the court, Marvin made substitutions.
Morrison came on and replaced Xiaomi.
After the two made a handover on the sidelines, Xiaomi took the coat handed over by Jason and sat quietly on the bench.
After Xiaomi came off the court, he saw No. 3 also come off the court, and he laughed immediately.
He didn't know what happened in the opponent's midfield, but he was inexplicably happy to see No. 3 come off the court.
The game started again, and Keppel passed the ball to Robinson.
ADO began to control the ball in the midfield, not giving the opponent a chance to steal the ball.
When the opponent pressed forward heavily, they directly split up to find teammates in the frontcourt.
Without deliberate targeting, the game between the two sides returned to normal.
Keppel and Eric are also growing very fast now, and they are very capable of breaking through the wing.
Although there is no Xiaomi's support in the middle, captain Robinson and Yerkes will also go in the middle and send a shot.
The two sides played back and forth, and Dordrecht's attack was often blocked by ADO before it passed the midfield.
Even if their goalkeeper kicked the ball to ADO's half, it would be headed back.
The fight in the midfield of both sides became lively, and there was a chaos of grabbing.
In the 68th minute of the game, Dordrecht made another substitution, replacing a midfielder with an offensive and defensive midfielder. The purpose was very clear, they must score a goal and win the game.
After the substitution, they did play two good wing attacks.
It was just that in the last cross, one was destroyed by an ADO player, and the other was directly The ball went wide.
As the game was drawing to a close, Dordrecht's players began to get anxious. They left only one player in the backcourt, pressed forward heavily, and stood with their backs against the wall. However, they underestimated ADO's determination to defend the goal. In the first half, they targeted Xiaomi, and all ADO players held their breath, not to mention giving them the chance to get close to the goal.
Eric retreated to the midfield to defend, and Keppel held back the opponent's defenders in the frontcourt.
In the last minute of the game, Dordrecht's players made a direct pass from the middle to their teammates on the wing.
Eric desperately stuck to his position and jumped up to compete for a header.
Eric headed the ball to Charlie, and turned around and rushed to the frontcourt quickly.
Charlie split the ball and handed it to captain Robinson.
After Robinson dribbled the ball to the side, he suddenly made a diagonal pass to Keppel who retreated to receive the ball.
Dordrecht's players quickly retreated, and ADO's players also pressed forward.
The formations of both sides quickly switched between offense and defense. Dordrecht didn't want to miss the ball and lose another goal.
ADO's counterattack at the last minute directly broke the defense of Dordrecht's coach.
